Re: V6 VVTi Filter

Afternoon all. Just an update on the post regarding the V6 VVTI filters. My Hilux has 271 000 km on and I assume the filters have never been changed. I took the Hilux for a service at a friend's workshop today. The two new filters, with the washers(gaskets) and the union bolts were ordered from Toyo...

Tyres for Hilux V6.

Im driving a Hilux 4.0 V6. I make full use of the V6 power, especially on map 5 of the Dastec Unichip 😊 .So I dont count as the most conservative driver. I definitely need tyres with good grip, as the Hilux breaks traction on the rear wheels easily. Im looking at buying a set of GT Radial AT3's ( 26...

Re: 2016 V6 throttle response

Hallo Willem.
Bly jy het reggekom !
My volgende modifikasie is Dastek Unichip met die 5 maps.Blykbaar kan mens die maps verander deur n skakelaar in die bakkie of met jou selfoon deur n app. Die Unichip het ook n "pedal booster" ingebou.
Sal laat weet as ek dit ingesit het.

Re: Dastek Unichip on 4.0 V6

Thank you for the feedback so far.
I spoiled myself and the V6 a month ago with a full stainless steel Viper system-branches as well, so no more cats.
The exhaust is a work of art. I also want to fit a K&N filter in the original airbox before doing the chip and dyno.

Re: Tyres rubbing on front mud guards.

Thank you for the feedback. The stance is indeed wider with the Racing Hart mags and looks better than with the standard mags.
Will try the spacers. Is it necessary to do wheel alignment after fitting the spacers ?

Hallo Pieter , as ek kan raad gee -dit kan heel moontlik jou turbo wees wat olie lek en dit dan terug blaas in die boost pyp weer in jou intake in.
Dalk net n olie seel as jy gelukkig is. Anders miskien turbo vervang.

Ek het so pas aangesluit by julle forum. Sukkel nog bietjie om my eerste boodskap te plaas. Ek en die tikmasjiene verstaan mekaar nie altyd nie.
My voertuie val in die kategorie "ander voertuie" en "enige ander voertuie"
Hopelik binnekort ook n Hilux eienaar.
